Fiction Family Life
The Scarlet Letter is the story of three New England
settlers at odds with the puritan society in which they
live. Roger Chillingworth, an aging scholar, arrives in New
England after two years' separation from his wife Hester to
find her on trial for adultery. For refusing to reveal her
lover's identity, she is condemned to wear a letter 'A' sewn
onto her clothes. Roger resolves to discover and destroy the
man who has stolen his honor. For the next seven years the participants in this bizarre
love triangle privately suffer the consequences of betrayal,
cowardice, and humiliation. Slowly but surely, the need for
redemption grows in each as the story hastens toward its
dramatic close. The Scarlet Letter is Nathaniel Hawthorne's
masterpiece. The handsome volumes in The Collectors Library present great
works of world literature in a handy hardback format.
Printed on high-quality paper and bound in real cloth, each
complete and unabridged volume has a specially commissioned
afterword, brief biography of the author and a
further-reading list. This easily accessible series offers
readers the perfect opportunity to discover, or rediscover,
some of the world's most endearing literary works. The volumes in The Collector's Library are sumptuously
produced, enduring editions to own, to collect and to treasure.
